“ppl forget what you do, what you say but never forget what you make them feel” that’s a such lesson

[zakariaesadiki]

1. Just do it
2. Skip small talk, ask personal questions
3. There is no room for negativity, instead find the things in common
4. Give a honest unique compliment
5. Ask for a simple opinion
6. Be present, eye-contact
7. Remember their details (Name/place ...)

I was a very social child, I was pretty popular at school too because I could easily hold a conversation with anyone and got along with everyone. As I got older I sort of lost that social ability. I'm not anti social, I can talk to people. Indeed I find it easier talking to strangers than some family members! But I'm working on getting my old social skills back and thankfully I succeeded. How? The only way I can explain it is: Learn not to care, learn not to be nervous, learn not to be afraid of silences and just let conversations flow naturally. Humans are social creatures, just let it come naturally. You are what you imagine yourself to be, so imagine yourself as social and talkative.

That was so good and motivational when se said "what starts with Hello and ends up with marriage proposal."😂☺

I watched this video 2 years ago as an introvert to know how to initiate convos and it was very impactful, now here I am in present watching it again as an extrovert, just to understand what an extrovert is doing wrong while talking and I must say this video can be watched from both perspectives. 😊

I took the advice and said HI to someone with a huge smile on my face. She got a shock because i said it so loud, then just looked without responding, so i kept smiling as hard as i could and kept staring at her.
She said she would call the police

[aninditabhunia]

I love how she speaks so smooth without any hesitation.Speaking is a SKILL.

[abdulazizmuradi]

it's my 6th YEAR watching this multiple times every year, and I AM in love with how she explains it with so much enthusiasm

[youknowwho]

Is it weird that I'm more comfortable with talking to strangers than the people I know? I just feel their judgment won't affect me at all and therefore I can be myself around them since there is a very low probability of us meeting again.

"A conversation is like reading a book, you can turn to any page you want. You can flip to you favorite chapter, you can read as long as you want and you can read what you want. And every person trust me is a really good book." Wow

[arshitsharma]

This video my whole one month learning of soft skills classes

[suruchis.]

Undoubtedly, conversation is a skill through which we can achieve a lot of things and also sometimes it causes an adverse situation. How beautifully she told us about the impacts of conversation.

[theresamorley]

Her enthusiasm about every stranger just being a wealth of knowledge and new experience has lessened my social anxiety a lot. Thank you.

[jamiluddinmiju]

She seems sincerely passionate about being there on the stage. She's not there just for the money. she wants to genuinely inspire people and share her ideas to others. That is beautiful. I really respect that. I'am now offically a fan of her.
